Can I Run DeepSeek V4-Flash on NVIDIA DGX Spark?
Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja: 21 lipca 2026
Not at Q4 (experimental) — that needs 172.8 GB at 8K context and the NVIDIA DGX Spark has 128 GB. Drop to Q3_K_M and it fits in 122.4 GB, with up to 64K of context.

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 128 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4 (experimental) on the NVIDIA DGX Spark: 8K 172.8 GB ✗ · 32K 174.6 GB ✗ · 128K 181.5 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 128 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
What to do next
Quantize to Q3_K_M. That is the cheapest fix — it costs some quality but no money.
